April Planetary Transitions
Sun enters Taurus on Apr. 20 at 4:13 a.m., just in time for the first strike of 4:20 on the clock.
This month’s full moon will peak in Libra on Apr. 6 at 12:34 a.m. A full moon in Libra will appear as balancing emotion and emotional dealings. This month has a total new moon solar eclipse in Aries on Apr. 20 at 12:12 a.m. New moon channels a more internal and hidden messaging surrounding emotions. Having this peak in Aries during a total solar eclipse, there will be even more repressed energy rising to the surface. There may be emotional outbursts due to the impulsive and fiery energy of Aries.
To start this month off, the first planetary movement in Apr. is Mercury entering Taurus on the third at 12:22 p.m. The planet of communication will appear in strong-headed and confident ways while in Taurus. The bull likes to be correct and does not back down when sure of itself.
On Apr. 21 at 4:35 a.m., Mercury with retrograde (Rx) while in Taurus. Rx creates a more self-critical and internal process when it occurs. Mercury Rx frequently shows up as miscommunications and troubles with technology.
Planet of love, Venus, moves into Gemini on Apr. 11 at 12:47 a.m. Though this placement is not the most romantic, there are benefits to it. Gemini is a very logical and insightful zodiac, while Venus operates through relationships and love languages. This will be a great period for those who express their love through words and meaningful conversation. Be wary of greeting romance with too much logic or lack of emotional processing at this time.
